THE FIGHT against climate change has been stepped up in south Warwickshire.
The South Warwickshire Local Climate Engagement Programme is a joint initiative launched by Stratford District Council and Warwick District Council to support residents, community groups and organisations to take practical action on climate change.
A new website will act as a central hub for information, resources and support, helping local communities better understand climate change and identify ways to reduce carbon emissions, build resilience and protect the local environment. It brings together guidance on topics such as energy efficiency, sustainable travel, waste reduction, biodiversity, and funding opportunities for community-led projects.
SDC leader Coun Susan Juned said: “This new website makes it easier for residents and community groups to access trusted information and practical support to help them play their part in addressing climate change. Working in partnership allows us to reach more people and have a greater impact across our districts.”
The website also highlights local case studies, events and opportunities to get involved, showcasing positive action already taking place across Stratford and Warwick districts.
WDC’s decarbonisation spokesperson Coun Hema Yellapragada added: “Our community groups and parish and town councils have the drive and determination to play their part in decarbonising south Warwickshire, and this website provides them with the practical, useful tools they need to do so. I look forward to seeing the content expand and grow as we work together on this important issue.”
